Helicopter Makes Emergency Landing
May 14, 2012
There were no injuries when a military helicopter made a precautionary emergency landing in a field near Barrineau Park Sunday afternoon.
The helicopter from Training Air Wing Five (TAW-5) at NAS Whiting Field made the landing in the field on Highway 196 just north of Barrineau Park School Road after indications of a possible mechanical problem. The downtime gave the residents around the landing site the opportunity to visit with the crew and even pose for pictures with the aircraft.

Guys, I’m glad you’re all ok and the choppers in one piece. Thank you Lord.
I saw the helicopter in the field yesterday, along with the pilots. I am very glad they were able to get the helicopter down safely. It was a very unusual sight seeing this because it was so out of place in the country.
